That's Bicycle Bash, not Crash

The Port Tampa blog is a big fan of rail transportation alternatives. We have seen the benefits of using CSX track for commuter rail in Northern Virginia and would love to sell at least one of the family vehicles to get it out of our driveway and into someone else's. We can picture a tastefully designed, yet fiscally prudent, station stop across from the Port Tampa library. In our mind's eye it is surrounded by commercial/retail space and sidewalks, lots of well maintained, accessible, sidewalks and has a bike rack....

Sorry, got carried away. For now, alternatives to taking a car everywhere are few, but biking is an option and one some very fine people are pushing to make safer and more enjoyable in the Tampa Bay area.
These advocacy groups, will be at the October 29th Bicycle Bash by the Bay from 11:00AM-5:00PM at the Times Forum.

Don't forget the bus!
If you are a regular, or even infrequent, HART bus rider please contact the Port Tampa blog. HART has made some efforts at improvements in the bus service lately and we'd like to post a Port Tampa review of these efforts. We will ride the bus before posting, but a couple trips made by someone with no particular place to go or time to be there is not the best basis for evalutation.
